Legendary producer Pete Rock & Smif N Wessun, acclaimed hip hop artists who have previously gained fame from their Dah Shining & The Rude Awakening albums have joined forces for a MONUMENTAL album. Pete Rock has provided the entire production on the album, as well as vocals including on the title track

MONUMENTAL. The album features their colleagues in the foundation of hip hop music including artists like: Raekwon, Sean Price, Buckshot, Freeway, Top Dog of Boot Camp Clik, Bun B, & Jahdan.

In collaboration with the release, New York based photographer Fubz, documented the entire recording process. Fubz has been shooting photographs since 1998 with his work featured by notable clients & magazines and record labels such as: Warner Bros., Rostrum Records, Antenna Magazine and The Source. This collaborative release embodies the MONUMENTAL process of creating this album and process of music within the ever changing and growing hip hop community. The photographic process of this show started as a personal journey looking into what goes into the creative process of building art. It spiraled into an intimate look behind the veil of these artists who have been creating music together for a decade. With the access of the digital age, most people get a brief glimpse of the creative studio and writing process, but MONUMENTAL expands the story through a two year photographic documentation of the experience from the emotive viewpoint of the artists and the creators around them. MONUMENTAL launches at Tammany Hall with live performances by the artists on the album and a photo display on June 28th. SHOW INFO:
